39、ry cleverC.She knows her wellD.She had read a lot by last weekDPsychologists take opposing views of how external rewards, from warm praise to cold cash, affect motivation and creativity. Behaviorists, who study the relation between actions and their consequences, argue that rewards can improve perfo
40、rmance at work and school. Cognitive(认识派的)researchers, who study various aspects of mental life, maintain that rewards often destroy creativity by encouraging dependence on approval and gifts from others.The latter view has gained many supporters, especially among educators. But the careful use of s
41、mall monetary(金钱的)rewards sparks creativity in grade-school children, suggesting that properly presented inducements(刺激)indeed aid inventiveness, according to a study in the June Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.“If kids know theyre working for a reward and can focus on a relatively chal
42、lenging task, they show the most creativity,“ says Robert Eisenhower of the University of Delaware in Newark. “But its easy to kill creativity by giving rewards for poor performance of or creating too much anticipation for rewards. “A teacher who continually draws attention to rewards or who hands o
43、ut high grades for ordinary achievement ends up with uninspired students, Eisenhower holds. As an example of the latter point, he notes growing efforts at major universities to tighten grading standards and restore failing grades.In earlier grades, the use of so-called taken economies, in which stud

47、h require inventiveness.C.Giving them rewards they really deserve.D.Giving them rewards they anticipat(4).It can be inferred from the passage that major universities are trying to tighten their grading standards because they believe _ .（分数：1.00）A.rewarding poor performance may kill the creativity of
48、 studentsB.punishment is more effective than rewardingC.failing uninspired students helps improve their overall academic standardsD.discouraging the students anticipation for easy rewards is a matter of urgencyEPackaging is an important form of advertising. A package can sometimes motivate someone t
49、o buy a product. For example, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comes in a box with a picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture than in breakfast food. Pictures for children to colour or cut out games printed on a package, or small gifts inside a box also motivate many children to buy productsor to ask their parents for them.Some packages suggest that a
